Introduction to the Eurasier Club of Canada

Welcome to the Eurasier Club of Canada (ECC). The Eurasier Club of Canada
was founded in 2005, in order to help protect the unique and wonderful
qualities of the Eurasier, and to ensure its future. Because the Eurasier
is a relatively young breed that is becoming more popular, the challenge
is to remain true to the breed standard that has been set, and to live
up to the vision of the breed founder, Julius Wipfel. Only through breeder
and owner education, and the promotion of ethical and quality breeding
practices and responsible dog ownership, will we be able to safeguard the
Eurasier and help preserve its original characteristics.

The Eurasier Club of Canada (ECC) is committed to maintaining the high
quality and standard of breeding established by the German Eurasier clubs
of origin - of following their example, in order to ensure the health and
beauty of this breed for many generations to come.

It was the firm desire of breed founder Julius Wipfel that the Eurasier
be raised and cared for within the family. Even today within the original
German clubs, the Eurasier is bred solely by hobby breeders who are closely
supervised and guided by knowledgeable and experienced people. A comprehensive
database that includes health information is used to help determine sound
mating choices.

Our ‘ECC Approved Breeders’ endeavour to remain in close contact
with their puppy owners and are always available for questions concerning
the well being of their offspring.

Resisting the temptation of breeding as a business is a part of the Eurasier
philosophy.

The Eurasier is relatively new to North America but is quite popular in
its native Germany. It is a medium-sized spitz dog, with a thick wooly
undercoat, soft, medium-length outer coat in various colors, and a bushy
tail that it carries over its back. It has dark, expressive almond shaped
eyes, and can have a pink, blue-black, or spotted tongue.

Eurasiers were given official breed status by the Canadian Kennel Club
(CKC) on June 13, 1995.

The Eurasier Club of Canada was officially accredited by the CKC, as the
national breed club in Canada for the Eurasier breed, on April 5, 2007.
